What's different from abroad.
Most of the process is the same wherever you live. These are the parts worth knowing before you start.
Banking
Banks decide account openings themselves. Some want to meet a director in person, others onboard remotely. We tell you which before you order.A Cyprus address
Every company needs a registered office in Cyprus. We can provide one, with your post forwarded.€300 a yearDirectors
You can be the only director and live abroad. Cyprus has no residency rule for directors.Tax residency
Since 2026, a company registered in Cyprus is tax resident here by default. If you run it from another country, that country may claim it too, so map it out with a tax adviser early.Non-EU citizens
The formation is the same. Moving here is not, because the Yellow Slip is for EU, EEA and Swiss citizens only. Everyone else needs the Pink Slip, and we file it with you.Clients in the EU
Selling to EU businesses? Your company is registered for VAT and for VIES, the monthly report of those sales. Sumly prepares it from your books.
